Hawaii; Amendment No. 5 to Notice of 

a Major Disaster Declaration 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice amends the notice 

of a major disaster for the State of 

Hawaii (FEMA–4724–DR), dated August 

10, 2023, and related determinations. 

DATES: This amendment was issued

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, in a letter dated 

September 8, 2023, the President 

amended the cost-sharing arrangements 

regarding Federal funds provided under 

the authority of the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. 

(the ‘‘Stafford Act’’), in a letter to 

Deanne Criswell, Administrator, Federal 

Emergency Management Agency, 

Department of Homeland Security, 

under Executive Order 12148, as 

follows: 

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Hawaii resulting 

from wildfires beginning on August 8, 2023, 

and continuing, is of sufficient severity and 

magnitude that special cost sharing 

arrangements are warranted regarding 

Federal funds provided under the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the 

‘‘Stafford Act’’). 

Therefore, I amend my declarations of 

August 10, 2023, and August 18, 2023, to 

authorize Federal funds for all categories of 

Public Assistance at 90 percent of total 

eligible costs, except assistance previously 

approved at 100 percent. 

This adjustment to state and local cost 

sharing applies only to Public Assistance 

costs and direct Federal assistance eligible 

for such adjustments under the law. The 

Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and 

Emergency Assistance Act specifically 

prohibits a similar adjustment for funds 

provided for Other Needs Assistance (Section 

408) and the Hazard Mitigation Grant 

Program (Section 404). These funds will 

continue to be reimbursed at 75 percent of 

total eligible costs.
